Chapter 663: Chapter 661 - The Filial Xu Anran

Xu Anran was on the trending searches again. The netizens were all praising her for being filial. Her manager took advantage of her surge in popularity and brought a professional filming team to the Xu family. She pretended to be a reporter and broadcasted Xu Anran’s filial scene. Immediately, the live broadcast was filled with praise.

[Although Xu Anran is not the biological daughter, she’s really filial to Madam Xu.]

[So what if that woman is the biological daughter? She doesn’t have any relationship with the Xu family. She’s unwilling to return to her family now. Madam Xu dotes on Xu Anran, so it’s not strange that she doesn’t like her biological daughter.]

In the live broadcast, Xu Anran said gently to everyone, “My mom has been very depressed recently because of something. As her daughter, I can’t help her vent her frustrations, and I feel very guilty because of that. I just hope that this banquet can make my mom happier.”

Xia Yunlou’s face was filled with worry as she squeezed out a smile. “Although I’ve found my biological daughter, Anran is still my daughter. Xi Xi is the daughter of the Xu family, and so is Anran. There’s no conflict between the two of them. Don’t look down on Anran just because she’s an adopted daughter. She’s also the beloved daughter of the Xu family. I won’t treat her badly.

“Anran is filial and obedient. Since everyone is here today, I want to announce something. We’ve decided to give Anran 20% of the shares. After she marries in the future, we’ll give a bountiful dowry. We just hope that she’ll be happy in the future.”

Qiao Xi had just walked to the door when she happened to hear Xia Yunlou’s words. What did this Xia Yunlou mean? Did she want to publicly display Xu Anran’s status as an adopted daughter?

Today was Xia Yunqiu’s death anniversary. Qiao Xi was wearing a plain black dress with a white lace shawl over her shoulders. She did not wear any makeup, but her lips were red and her teeth were white. Her long hair was casually tied behind her head, yet it gave others a sense of languid beauty. She did not wear any jewelry, yet she looked pure and clean.

Gu Zheng stood beside her and could not help but lick his lips to suppress the agitation in his heart.

At this moment, the sky was dark and it was drizzling.

Qiao Xi held her mother’s belongings with a gloomy expression.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

Gu Zheng patted her shoulder and said softly, “Let’s go.”

“Ah Zheng, Xu Anran confessed to you in public earlier. I’m afraid this banquet is for you.” Qiao Xi smiled meaningfully.

When Gu Zheng heard this, his body stiffened at first, then he revealed a disgusted expression. “That ugly woman likes me? Who gave her the confidence?”

Song Shiyu: “…” Why did he feel that the president was becoming more and more vicious with his words? Even if he was disgusted before, he would only express it in his eyes and never say it out loud.

“Xia Yunlou said that she’s on good terms with my mom, but she doesn’t even know it’s her death anniversary. She even arranged a banquet today. Let’s see how she’ll explain this later!”

Qiao Xi sneered. “Everyone from the Xu family is here. I’m the only one who hasn’t joined in. I don’t even know what these people will say about me once they’re all gathered!”

As soon as she finished speaking, Qiao Xi raised the black umbrella and slowly walked to the door while holding Gu Zheng’s arm. When the servants at the door saw that it was Qiao Xi, their faces were filled with surprise. “Miss Qiao…”

“Go! Quickly report to Madam that Miss Qiao is here!”

“Stop her, quick!”

…

The banquet hall was brightly lit and lively. It did not have the coldness of a rainy day at all. Everyone surrounded Xia Yunlou and tried to curry favor with her.

Madam Xu was the daughter of the Xia family. Behind her were two noble families. Moreover, it was said that Xu Anran had even won the championship of the Planet Music Festival. Although the officials had not announced this matter, the Xu family would not joke about it.

“Madam Xu, don’t be sad. Even if your biological daughter isn’t around, there’s still An Ran, who’s obedient and sensible! With her by your side, you’ll naturally have nothing to worry about.”

“That’s right! We all know how filial Eldest Miss Xu is! I heard that someone is broadcasting this banquet live! It looks like the netizens are also paying attention!”

Xu Anran said generously, “It was all requested by my fans. I wanted to use this banquet to comfort Mom and make her feel better. Mom also agreed to it, so a team is doing a live broadcast. If everyone minds it, I can get someone to turn it off.”

“Of course not.”

At this moment, someone suddenly asked, “Isn’t Miss Qiao coming to such an important occasion?”

The banquet hall was silent.

After a moment of silence, someone said angrily, “It’s not Madam Xu’s fault that the child was replaced. Even if there was a misunderstanding, Madam Xu has already publicly apologized. No matter what, Madam Xu is Miss Qiao’s biological mother. Isn’t it a little insensible for her to be so unforgiving?!”
